Poblano chillies are large, shiny, dark-green, cone-shaped peppers grown fresh in the region of Puebla, Mexico. One of the most popular chilies, it is the chili crop with the most hectares planted in Mexico. Poblano chilies are quite meaty, generally mild in heat, but incredibly flavoursome. When dried, they become Ancho chilies and certain varieties of Poblano chilies go on to become dried mulato chilies too.
Poblanos are fabulous for stuffing and can also be used in soups and in meat and poultry based dishes. They're one of my favourite pepper.
The tinned variety has been charred and peeled (a job that's quite labour intense when you get them fresh). Having spent years without them, I was thrilled to find the tinned variety here, so go on, get some and enjoy them!
